I feel like I've seen more Karens in these places than any other

That's fixed capital for you.

I don't get it

It would be fixed capital regardless of the interior design and chairs?

The difference is that fixed capital matters little to the rate of profit, so they can spend a lot of money and it still evens out over the period of operation. The food and wage, on the other hand, affects the rate of profit a lot. So we can usually see restaurants with "fancy" decors, but with shitty food and low wages.

That's literally "The Works" burger chain in Ottawa.

These restaurants keep my cousins' reclaimed wood furniture business alive.
